corbsy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi guys, I bought a Zed a couple of months back and as part of the deal with a trader, they agreed to refurb the wheels. Fast forward a few months, it's clear to me that they have used the most cheapest paint I've ever come across. I had the two front tyres changed recently and I watched the guys fit the wheels. They didn't use the traditional crowbar type tool to get the wheels on and off, they had the plastic variant. When the wheels went over, the little heat that it produced, melted away the finish of the alloys and now it just peels off like chewing gum. Rather than speak to those people who sold me the car, I've decided to do it myself and do it properly. Any suggestions on a good place in the South East Hampshire/Surrey area? I'll upload some pics later on to show the extent of the damage. Any advice would be welcome! Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corbsy Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 How much does the Wheel Specialist charge for 4 wheels? I just want them done in piano glossy black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Def The WheelSpecialist I used the branch in East Grinstead (yes I know that isn't Surrey...) Point is they have a great range of finishes/colours and if they are all as good as the one I used you should be very pleased with their work.

OV53 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I paid £360 to have my 19s done the same day with a courtesy car. If you get quoted more then just tell them that I got them done in Westerhope, Newcastle for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 http://www.premierwheelrepairs.com/ About 50 a wheel.... Did mine and am very happy with the result (mine were more than 50 each but I went for black chrome finish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamdc2 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I literally just came off the phoen from The Wheel Specialist in Birmingham. Just quoted me £288 inc VAT for doing my Rays. This is arriving with tyres still on and same day pick up service. Going for a slightly darker/smoke finish to standard Rays colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
